There are some times when we all need to take a break from our work and/or studies and unwind. The best way to relax is by laughing a little. A little comedy can go a long way in our overall positiveness.
Some may deem humor websites as unproductive (and if so, maybe they need to live a little). There are other things to do in college besides procrastinate, party, study and sleep. When you have a 24/7 internet connection pretty much anywhere you go, it's not like you have to be working the entire time. Besides, laughing will lighten your spirits and make you feel better.
Here is a list of sites to get some fresh college humor:
Recommended Resources:
